About Cool Shirt: The Pioneer of Personal Cooling Systems
Since 1987, Cool Shirt (officially COOLSHIRT Systems) has been the benchmark for personal cooling technology. Founded and headquartered in Stockbridge, Georgia — just 20 miles south of Atlanta — this privately held company grew from a single innovative idea into the leading provider of wearable cooling solutions in the world. What began as a specialized cooling device designed for surgeons in demanding operating environments has evolved into a full product ecosystem serving motorsports, firefighting, industrial applications, sports, and more.
How Cool Shirt Technology Works
At the heart of every Cool Shirt system is a deceptively simple concept with powerful results. The signature COOLSHIRT® garment incorporates approximately 50 feet of medical-grade capillary tubing sewn directly into the fabric, covering the front and back of the torso. This tubing connects via insulated hoses and safe quick-release dry disconnects to a compact cooling unit — the "cooling engine" — that circulates temperature-controlled water throughout the shirt. By keeping the body's core temperature in check, the system helps drivers reduce heat stress, improve focus, and maintain sharper reaction times even in grueling race conditions.
Built for Motorsports
Cool Shirt has become synonymous with driver comfort on the track. Whether it's oval racing, road racing, drag racing, karting, or off-road competition, Cool Shirt systems are trusted by competitors at every level. The brand's Club Cooler system — available in 13QT and 19QT configurations — runs on 12V power and is sized comparably to a compact battery box, making it a natural fit for nearly any cockpit layout. For rally co-drivers, the Rally System for 2 provides a single cooling unit that serves both driver and co-driver simultaneously, saving critical weight and space. The DRAGPACK system is purpose-engineered for drag racers, offering an ice-based cooler, an Active Aqua Vest, and a long-lasting lithium battery in one complete kit.
Beyond the Race Track
Cool Shirt's reach extends well beyond motorsports. The same core technology that keeps surgeons comfortable during long procedures and racing drivers sharp under the helmet is also deployed by firefighters managing extreme heat exposure, industrial workers in high-temperature environments, and athletes pushing their physical limits. This cross-industry credibility speaks to the durability, reliability, and effectiveness of the COOLSHIRT® platform.
A Legacy of Quality and Innovation
With over three decades in business, Cool Shirt has built its reputation on consistent product quality and a commitment to continuous improvement. The brand's quick-release fittings are engineered to be among the safest in the industry — designed to disconnect cleanly without interfering with shoulder harnesses or HANS devices, a critical safety consideration for serious competitors. Whether you're a weekend track-day enthusiast or a professional racer, a Cool Shirt system is one of the most straightforward performance upgrades available: keep your core cool, and your mind and body will follow.
